With grand premiere in Paris, but left inconspicuous for mass audience,
Jean-Claude Van Damme in rare times acted in film with non-DVD budget. However,
it doesn’t meaning.
Story of The Bouncer or Lukas didn’t promise to be out of ordinarily. A man
with surviving in finance who lost a wife many years ago and has only daughter
for which he wants a better future. As we know, in one day, after, not important
from main hero’s view, changes, this unusual life will turn for him to
dangerous circumstances. In this film I more expected from drama side. How the
director will tell. Julien Leclercq immerses in wonderful overcast atmosphere of
calmly Western Europe. A smoothly frame changes and be impressed in good angles
of cameras. But it doesn’t goes until end. Too soon in phrases can see absence of
ingenuity as JCVD’s hero Lukas descripts gang on which he works as men who trust
to nobody or once again I heard about “best cocaine”. These so bad guys often
shows their evil side, because director tries to make a suspense. I can’t take
serious films about organized crime where group contains a little number and especially
when they calling themselves mafia. Bandits of The Bouncer are international counterfeiters
with three members. If don’t take this fact – nothing will change to improvement.
Screenplay didn’t well developed relationship between Lukas and important head
of criminals, but successful attitude father and daughter is ruining after
kidnapping of last, which in this place looks as nothing happened before. Expected
primitive story turned to bad taste movie. I was apathetic to everything and in
this position I was guessing how will come to the last scenes and almost all
was right.
In acting was only sometimes fails from Sveva Alviti with her tired
myself line of poor girl. Her story isn’t bad, but was told and put on
formality basis. For diversity talented Jean-Claude Van Damme is no place to show
again his drama experience. Same nothing as in shooting pistols in this film.
So sad that the charm of French cinema every time is fading in deplorable
screenwriting.
